Week old baby harbour seal rescue, Parksville, British Colum

[glamourmonday01]

That's very cute and nice,,, only that they say it's best to just leave it there with a blanket * and don't distress it : it isn't healthy for the ani al

[AbbyWDancer]

awwwwww ur so lucky

[ninjarocker123guy]

the house that you were in that is in this video is being rented by me right now ,, dogwood street.....  :) i recognize it, wow a seal has been in this house lol!

[Ladygagasleftnut]

Yeahhh well problem is seals can only tend to one child at a time, so if they give birth to twins the mother would abandon the one with less of a chance of surviving. But yeah, humans should avoid interaction unless absolutely necessary

I have never heard of a Marine Mammal center telling anyone to remove baby seals off the beach .I volunteer at one so I would know, and warming it up by the fire please do not do that!! I know you where trying to help but this was not the solution. A mammal center will always tell u to leave the animal and they will come asses the situation. This pup looked way to healthy to be snatched off the beach.

[DespHousewife]

I had to watch this again ... this seal is just too too precious.

[cadyrose19]

What you have done here folks is committed a felony under the marine mammal protection act of 1972. This pup is way to healthy to have been pulled off the beach. I understand that you thought you were helping but people like you pulling healthy pups off the beach is why we at the Marine Mammal Center have to rehabilitate many seal pups every year- many of which do not survive. Pups will often be left alone on the beach for long periods of time.

I guess we all should all be as bitter and accusatory as cadyrose and act like knee jerk know-it-alls who post insulting crap toward people over events they have no idea about except for the 3 minute slice of time posted to youtube.

[ssilk725A]

@cadyrose19 its so pathetic when youtubers try to play cop after the fact let it go, no one gives a fuck, and did you listen to the video they did call someone and took the advice to the best of theyre ability and the guy said he couldnt operate his flippers sheesh

[dchowderr]

[RULO86]

hey little seal, be careful to be clubbed!!

[Captbigbeard]

Wow, such a tame animal... I'm surprised, I wouldn't expect them to be so nice.

[happysomeday09]

I love this! Cutie!

[cracks21229]

So how did this story end?

[0PandaManda0]

omg that is the cutest thing I have ever seen.. forget the people who are saying you were in the wrong you probably saved the poor things life! ^_^

[maggie945]

We did call the marine mammal rescue center, they asked us questions, determined he was in danger and then told us to bring him in the house, warm him in a towel and then they came, put him on IVs and flew him to the Vancouver aquarium. We wouldn't put him in harms way for our own entertainment.

[ferretgrrl26]

@maggie945 i work at a marine mammal rescue center, and we would NEVER tell anybody to take a baby seal in your house and warm it. they can over-heat in no time. HELLO?? they DO live in 50 degree water! mother seals leave their pups on the beach while they hunt. human interaction is the number one cause of seal pup rescues. if you had any sense, you would have called the marine mammal center while the pup was still on the beach. and it looks like you DID get some entertainment out of him to me..

[xPawKitx]

@ferretgrrl26 Oh shut it. Considering a 3 minute video is all you have to go on you extremists have no right in making any assumptions. You bitching and trolling at animal videos isn't going to do a thing.

[ninjaoats]

This video makes me sick. This is the wrong thing to do. A pup by itself is not necessarily in danger. Call a rescue center and have them pick it up. I guarantee you the rescue center did not tell you to cradle him like a baby.

[FANGuzimaki]

@ninjaoats As much as I hate idiots that go on about adorable animal videos and ruin people's fun by claiming cruelty, you're not one of them. I actually agree with you on this one. Coddling a wild animal seems like one of the dumber things to do.

Mother seals will leave their babies on the beaches while they go out for food to bring back to the young right? Somewhere out there, there is one pissed off mama seal.

[888zzz]

Mothers leave pups when they go to hunt and come back to feed them. Sometimes mothers abandon pups that have been touched by people because of the human scent. Warming pups can kill them.

[BlackDingDongs]

He is so adorable.. I think it was a good and loving way to take care of the seal. And what a experiences it most have been! :)

Many hugs from Denmark.
